Bio
Born and raised in a small town in Romania, I left home with a great desire of learning more about foreign languages, people, human relationships, and about.. the world, in general.

Part of my curiosity was completed. So, I graduated the Faculty of Letters, having now a B.A. in English and Latin. I continued my studies in the Human Resources field, as I felt I had a "crash" on people and good communication skills. So, I have now a Postuniversitary Degree in the Management of Human Resources, and still working in the field.
Then, I thought it wasn't fair for "my first love" (that being the French language) to let it down; so, I followed DALF courses (Diplôme approfondi de langue française) and got the certification of French-language abilities for non-native speakers of French.

The passion for languages was further sustained by different translation activities performed. So, below are my favourite, but not exclusive, fields:

EDUCATIONAL/ PEDAGOGIC field:
- Training materials on:
• general coaching, personal coaching styles inventory
• leadership skills
• communication strategies
• conflict resolution, getting along in the workplace
• delegation – the act of delegating effectively

• occupational standards in the chemical field
HUMAN RESOURCES field:
- Materials on:
• HR for non-HR managers
• employment relations
• recruitement, retention
- Articles on:
• new mandate for HR
• theories on human motivation
• leading-change and why transformation efforts at the workplace fail
• labour turnover
- Newsletters on:
• steps to building your personal leadership brand
• HR trends
• innovation in the workplace
MANAGEMENT field:
Booklets on:
• management competencies for preventing and reducing stress at work
• absence management
• management of conflict and leadership
• workplace mediation
Overviews on:

SHEETS/ HANDOUTS:
